The first case tried was that of VII
liam 7. Layelle, a brakeman. The
prosecution produced witnesses from
Philadelphia, Dennison, o., Pittsburg
and Penrod, KY, and traced goods
from the former place to the ''fence''
in this city established by detectives
for the purpose of entrapping the
thieves. Detective Allen, who ran the
fence" testified that Lavelle had sold
to him large lot of goods which he
acknowledged that he had taken from
a freight car. These goods were after
ward identified as the property of a
firm in Kentucky.

Morphine Habit-Cured.

We copy the following from the Holly
Springs South, for the information OF our
readers. The curing of this terrible NOR
phine habit is certainly great thing
ave desire to call attention to certificate in this
issue from Mrs. Baum and others in regard to a
cure of the terrible morphine habit by DR.. Gray,
Of this city. Dr. Gray is an old, experienced and
successful NJ. d. He has practiced medicine in this
city for a long time, with much success as any
man. There are a great many good people scattered
through the country who have unintentionally
formed the habit OF taking morphine or opium to
excess We have no doubt DIR. Gray cure them
OF this habit Specialties in the practice of medi-
cine are the order OF the day. Many OF us think
that Dr. Gray should make a speciality OF curing
this disease as well other doctors do of diseases
of the eye, ear, etc.
We know OF no more fearful affiiction than the
opium habit. He has not decided to make spe-
ealty of this disease, but is so confident that he
can cure it, that he will take limited number of
cases on the plan of "no cure, no pay" This is
proving his faith by his works.
Holly Springs, Miss, is DR.. Gray post-otfce, as
well OF those who sign the certificates published.
Mrs. Baum is known to many of our citizens as
having been a most inveterate morphine taker, and
is known to be now cured of it. She be inter-
viewed in regard to her cure, three miles east OF
this place. She is so much rejoiced at her that
that she gladly tells OF t.-HoIy Springs South,
Jtn'y II, 1887.
We learn that Mrs Baum, whom we mentioned
some time since, as having been cured of the NOR
phine habit by DIR. Gray, OF this city, is better
health than for years, and still has desire for
morphine. This is certainly a great cure, as this
lady had taken il so long, and in such tremendous
quantities. Holly lSpriHgs South, FEB. 8, 1887.

IN denouncing the domination Of a
packed caucus Mr.. Lucas said. docs
any man here believe, if Mr.. Camden's
name were presented at a primary cleo
ton, that the free Democracy of this
State would select him as United States
SENATOR No man dare assert such a
proposition. Nearly every one of his
companions upon this floor carefully
concealed his preference before his cleo
ton. Out of $4,000 Democratic ma
jority in this State in 1884 three coun-
ties which / have enumerated-Jeff er-
son, Hampshire and Hardy-eontribute
3,500i
"The fiat of the true Democracy has
gone forth and Mr.. Camden can not be
reelected unless by Republican coali-
ton. If the Republicans choose to elect
him, very well-let them do SO and
assume the responsibility. Our duty TO
the Democratic party of this State pro-
hibits our supporting him or contribut-
ing to such a result. We have fought
the battle against monopoly too long in
this State TO be now willing to surrender
our principles. 1t is this that encour-
ages us-that the truths on which the
Democracy is founded, as the party of
the people, though baffied for a time,
eventually carry conviction to the
masses. And the masses once inspired,
the press and the leaders take new
departure and correct their courses.
With this faith in the ultimate triumph
of political truth, while others have
been preaching Democracy as an organ
ization without convictions, we have
been endeayoring to breathe into it the
vitality of correct principles, that it
might become the embodiment of that
political faith which its great founder,
Thomas Jefferson, taught as the only
true foundation Of American liberty"

West vlrginla's New Senator.

The Hon. ID. B. Lucas, who was ap-
pointed by Gov. Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, to succeed Senator Camden, is a
man with an unusually brilliant record.
He is a graduate of the University of
Virginia and one of the ablest lawyers
in the State. He is distinguished
man and poet of no mean pretensions.
ssThe Land Where We Are Dreaming"
written by him while in Canada, at the
close of the war. was pronounced by the
London Times to be the best poem of
the war period. He was Democratic
Presidential Elector in the Greedy, Til
den and Cleveland campaigns. He is
fifty-one years of age.
Mr.. I.ucas's political principles may be
gathered from the following found in a
special to the New York World from
Charleston, w. Va:
In the last Legislature Mr.. Lucas
nominated Gov. Wilson for Senator. In
his speech MIR. Lucas dwelt strongly on
the rapid diminution of men of great
ability but small fortunes In the Senate,
and the substitution in their places of
men who have grown rich through
monopoly. New York, he said, in the
recent election for Senator, was about
the only exception to the rule. "Tke
question for us of West Virginia to
determine is" he continued, whether
we shall range ourselves with the truer
civilization of New York. or whether
we shall surrender our highest offices,
as matter Of barter and sale, into the
hands of the Standard Oil Company, OF
the powerful railway corporations which
seek to control our legislation and direc,
our political destiny He then quoted
from ssThe Railways of the Republic
to show that Senator Camden was
devoted to the interests of the Standard
/ Oil Company. and had on one occasion
ATTEMPTED to smother an investigation
in the Senate which the great corpora
ton wished to suppress.
i sUpon every other important qnes
tom said Mr.. Lucas, Senator Camdel
has stood out in bold antagonism t.
what we believe to be true Democratic
doctrine. / cannot find that he eve
a took the slightest interest in the Inter
! state Commerce bill until the latter par
of the Forty ninth Congress. when al
own reelection became an interesting
prize, staked upon his legislative RECORD
|; Believing, therefore, as do, that M

A Genial Restorative.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are emphat-
ically a genial restorative. The changes
which this great botanic remedy produces
in the disordered organization are always
agreeably, though surely progressive, never
abrupt and violent. On this account it is
admirably adapted to persons of delicate
constitution md weak nerves, to whom the
powerful mineral drugs are positively in
furious. That it initiates these processes
which result in the re-establIshment of
healthful vigor Is conspIcuously shown in
cases where it is taken to overcome that
fruitful cause of debility, indigestion,
coupled, as it usually is, with billiousness
and constipation. Thorough digestion.
regular evacuation and abundent secre-
ton, are results which promptly and irva-
riably attend its systematic use. 1t is, be-
sides, the best protective against malaria,
and a first rate diuretic.

ALL Medical Authorities

Agree that catarrh is no more nor less
than an Inflammation of the lining mem
brane of the nasal air passages.
Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affec-
ton of the head are not diseases of the
blood, and it is a serious mistake to treat
them as such. No conscientious physician
ever attempts to do so.
1t is held by eminent medical men that
sooner or later a specific will be found for
every disease from which humanity suffers.
The facts justify US in assuming that for
catarrh at least positive cure already
exists in Ely's Cream Balm.
